Kiwi book design talents were celebrated for the 18th time last Thursday at the PANZ Book Design Awards presented at Auckland’s Sapphire Room.
The supreme award winner was quite fittingly Janson Chau of Alt Group for his inspiring treatment of Cardboard Cathedral, Andrew Barrie’s book on Shigeru Ban’s designs for the Christchurch Anglican cathedral’s temporary replacement.
Accepting the Gerard Reid Best Book award, Janson (left) told the awards audience “It is rewarding to be acknowledged.”
The Auckland University Press Cardboard Cathedral won awards for best illustrated and best typography categories before being declared the overall winner.
Judges Cameron Gibb, international guest judge Miriam Rosenbloom, Kalee Jackson and Vincent Heeringa were all highly complimentary about the quality of all finalist books.
